I Am a Long Distance Runner

Yesterday I ran a 10 mile race in Hawaii and realized I am a long distance runner. I have never felt as accomplished as I did yesterday morning, standing at the finish line, gulping a bottle of water and soaking up the beautiful Hawaiian sunshine. I am not a fast runner, but I can run for a long time; 2 hours and 13 minutes to be exact. Four months ago I walked the 8 mile course of the Great Aloha Run in 2 hours 27 minutes so I guess I am a little faster. I feel like I am becoming who I am supposed to be, doing what I am created to do. Somehow running is helping me to see my potential and at 46 I feel like I can dare to dream and make them come true.
